Never Look Away is a thoroughly engaging story loosely based on the German artist, Gerhard Richter. A lengthly film, over 3 hours, with the time going by before you know it. The life of this young artist is shown to be filled with doubt, and paintings that he frequently changes or erases. In the midst of his early life he falls in love and a captivating love story ensues. All the while this talented artist is painting, which is shown in close-ups of the works while in progress. It's the best such depiction I have ever seen on film.
Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration is, of course, Joni Mitchell and this is a tv movie of her 75th birthday concert, which occured in Los Angeles in November, 2018. There are many highly acclaimed musicians appearing who are singing mostly her songs. What a party! An extraordinary highlight, and there are many, is Seal's rendition of Both Sides Now.
